Our religion the Sanathana Dharma

Our   religion the  Sanathana  Dharma (the  beginning less thought process)  

By

P.R.Ramachander

Adhi Sankara   said  there  is only one  and  there is no two,

Saint Ramanuja said  if one surrenders  to another , there would be only one.

Saint Madhwa  said  one and one are  different   and   would be two,

And most  of  the people  could not understand  all these  differences

But their orthodox  followers said ,  that   they  would prefer  to do daily   rituals  ,

And    also  do homas  and  yagas     to  please   the devas   and Pithrys

AS told   to them   by the Vedas  and at the end travel to the feet of God,

And they expected  that  they would be    fed by   the  society   at large .

Some others    said   that  they   would  loose   themselves  and merge ,

In the God   by constantly   chanting      the names  of Gods   or Goddesses,

Or  meditating   on the  form of the   god  or goddess  and losing themselves,

And they expected   they would ultimately  reach the  God or Goddess

Some others said   that  by  Yoga   , the art  of merging  in God,

They would lift up  themselves   from the base   qualities  that control them,

Slowly and surely rise   themselves  in stages   and reach the ultimate ,

And open the  thousand petal lotus    and merge   with God .

But  our   great   religion   says    to us   again and again,

That   the path   to  our God    are   really  numerous  .

And   we  are  at  liberty   to follow   the path that  suits you,

And all  those  travellers  in different paths  would reach God
